SPN 627 FMI 1

Power Supply — Value too low (most severe).
The reading is valid but far below the normal operating range, at the most serious 'too low' level.

What the SPN covers: General power supply to the controller is outside the expected range or was interrupted. More on SPN 627.

What FMI 1 usually points to: A real under-condition such as very low oil pressure or low fuel pressure, or a sensor that has drifted low. More on FMI 1.

Severity

MEDIUM — fix soon

Power interruptions cause random resets and odd faults. Fix the wiring first.

Likely causes

  1. Loose ECM power connection
  2. Corroded battery terminals
  3. Faulty relay or fuse
  4. Ignition switch circuit fault

Checks & fixes (easiest first)

  1. Inspect ECM power and ground connections
  2. Check fuses and relays
  3. Voltage-drop test the circuits under load
